The Russian State Duma has passed a law in its third reading, clarifying the rules for the seizure, confiscation, and forfeiture of cryptocurrencies in criminal cases, and officially recognizing the property status of cryptocurrencies. The law requires recording the type, quantity, and wallet address of assets during seizure, while related devices, storage media, and wallet access permissions must be sealed and safeguarded. If technical conditions allow, seized crypto assets can be transferred to a state-designated wallet. The law permits collaboration with foreign crypto exchanges for the execution of seizures/confiscations, with specific transfer and custody procedures to be formulated by government departments. The bill awaits approval by the Federation Council and the President's signature, and will take effect 10 days after its official publication.
